Photography

I take pictures with multiple cameras, here is a little bit more information about my various cameras and how I like to use them.

Cameras I Own Currently

Sony Mavica FD83 ☆ instax mini 8 ☆ Gameboy Camera ☆ Nintendo DSi

Sony Mavica FD83



The MVC-FD83 is a digital camera which use 3.5" floppy diskettes to store the photos taken. The interface is fairly simple, offering three picture resolutions and a 3x zoom lens and up to 6x digital zoom with resolution degradation. It launched along side the FD73 and FD88 in 1999.

I like to use this camera around town, it's great for taking quick snaps of wild life, scenery and street art. It gives a soft nostalgic blur to shots, and the stark shadow the flash gives reminds me of taking pictures in my youth. These old cameras have a white balance that only older digital cameras seem to have as well.

Gameboy Camera




The Gameboy Camera is an accessory for the original hand held Game Boy which was released in February 1998. The cartridge features a camera which can swivel 180 degrees so the user can take selfies and can hold up to 20 snaps. It takes photos in 4 grayscale shades with controls for brightness and contrast. Originally, you would obtain your photos through a Game Boy printer, but these days I use a GB Interceptor and windows camera to screenshot my photos, then photoshop to color them.

This camera is a bit of a novelty, taking great close up shots with contrast, but struggling with landscapes or anything with too much detail. I enjoy taking photos of friends, products and signs, and anything with plenty of contrast.
